Postnatal Support
Postnatal Support
The fourth trimester is a precious window of time, a chance for you to gently recover from birth, bond with your new baby, and ease into the rhythm of your new life. It’s a period for rest, healing, and adjustment, where being nurtured and supported can make all the difference. This is your time to slow down, listen to your body, and embrace the early days of parenthood with care and compassion. Learn more about the fourth trimester in my video blog here and more about my postnatal planning offering here.
As your doula, my role is beautifully varied, because every day can bring something new. I’m here to offer the kind of support that fits your unique family, adjusting to your needs as they evolve. Whether it’s practical help, emotional reassurance, or simply a calming presence, my focus is always on you and what feels most helpful in the moment. My care is completely flexible, tailored to meet you where you are. Read more about my support as your postnatal doula here and check out my video blog to learn a little more about what can be included in a session. I will always be available by telephone, text or email throughout our relationship.

Postnatal Planning
My postnatal planning videos and resources are designed to empower and inform you during the early weeks of parenthood. They cover a wide range of essential topics; from understanding the fourth trimester and caring for your postnatal body, to feeding (breast or bottle), newborn behaviour, safe sleep practices, and babywearing.
Each resource is thoughtfully created to help you feel confident, supported, and well-prepared as you navigate life with your new baby.

Planning ahead can make a world of difference. When our needs are acknowledged and met, we feel more grounded, confident, and ready to take on whatever parenthood may bring.

“Cat was a fantastic support to our family before the baby arrived and the entire time she was with us. A postnatal doula is a fantastic investment and I can highly recommend Cat!"
"Cat has been an absolute blessing and has turned my immediate postpartum experience around completely. My little one absolutely adores Cat, who is just brilliant with him."
“There's no one else I'd like to have around me more when I've just had my baby than Cat. She's not only fabulous with babies, but you genuinely feel that she loves you and your baby."
